Drivers side headlight problem!

Post by scirocco67 »

Hey!
I have been having some problems with the drivers side dipped beam! Sometimes when I start the car, I will get a message stating that the bulb is out, but other times the message wont appear and the bulb will be working fine.
So, I decided to have a look!
When I take the rubber cover off and put my hand in, I can feel the bulb holder (I'm guessing) and If I just slightly touch it to the left, the bulb will go off, and a slight touch to the right, it's on!
Do you guys reckon I need to buy a new bulb holder ? And if I do, how easy are they to fit ? haha!

Have u replaced the bulb? Know it sounds silly but I had similar intermittent issue and when took the bulb out it had blown in such a way the filaments were connected most of the time then would shake apart.
